The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) at Clemson University offer undergraduate students the opportunity to engage in hands-on, intensive research experiences in various STEM disciplines. Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), REUs are designed to provide students with valuable research experience, enhance their understanding of the research process, and prepare them for graduate studies or careers in STEM fields. Clemson's Summer Research Experience umbrella coordinates multiple individual NSF REU sites, each running its own 10-week program with faculty-led seminars, a graduate-school-prep workshop, and social activities across sites.
